If you’re gonna call a fanbase stupid, at least make your sentence grammatically correct

It must be frustrating trying to act tough and get in a guys face and he just smiles without a care

Can someone explain how the Utah commentators see Blake as an instigator when Kriss Dunn has TWO hands on his jersey while Blake has both hands on the ball?
1
u/celticspoop Celtics Apr 01 '23
Blake hit the ball out of Dunn’s hand and was fighting for the ball well after the whistle, let’s not act oblivious 😭

LMAOOO how is Kris Dunn not ejected from that

u/JesseJamesGames449 Celtics Apr 01 '23
How did they let him get away with the first Grabbing of the jersey and callling him a bitch multiple times and not T him up until he went at him a second time at half court after giving Blake and Tatum Techs for GOD awful calls the refs made...

Horrible officiating. Game-to-game refereeing in this league is a joke

I can't seem to put my finger on why players are openly lashing out at refs more often

We had 44 paint points and 3 free throws before the last half of the 4th quarter.
After the game was kind of out of reach then we started getting some calls
0
u/imused2it Celtics Apr 01 '23
Yeah and then as soon as we start pulling more than 14 points away you get the two bs fouls and technicals in Blake griffin. Tony brothers should be shot into the sun.

u/SylvesterLundgren Celtics Apr 01 '23
Bro we're barely playing defense out there? Our guys are exerting no energy and have no size, obviously you're scoring in the paint easily with no free throws, we're barely contesting. It's the whole reason you guys are still in the game

Has Blake had that mustache all year? Looks pretty good on him honestly.

u/igonnawrecku_VGC Celtics Apr 01 '23
Great tech by Blake. Both of those last two should have been charges

he was in the restricted area

Missed the feet, good call out. I can see why Blake was emotional though given the awful one right before that

I almost forgot we are allowed to shoot free throws. I thought it was just them

u/Embarrassed_Adagio28 Apr 01 '23
Not a single jazz player on the court right now was on the team to start the season lol

u/Benjamin018 Apr 01 '23
Not gonnalie even as a Jazz fan was kinda hoping they'd be the first team to get 0 free throws.

Is there something you have to do to watch? I’m logged in with my ID and it still says I need league pass

I don’t think so, I just logged in and watched

For some reason, hitting “watch from beginning” worked…idk why I had to do it that way but it worked

u/KyrieLS777 Celtics Apr 01 '23
I know the Celtics don’t care that much about the regular season now but it seems like the Jazz are making almost all their shots. I haven’t watched them enough this season… is this normal? Same thing happened last game😂.
Shoutout to Hardy mannnn
2
u/Embarrassed_Adagio28 Apr 01 '23
We are both shooting 27% from 3.. which is horrible for both teams and we have a 44% fg compared to 40% for the celtics. We are shooting worse tonight. Considering we are missing 3 of our 4 best players its surprising we are still in this. Hardy is awesome.

u/Ryelen Jazz Apr 01 '23
There has to be something about the match ups we just overperform vs you guys

u/JesseJamesGames449 Celtics Apr 01 '23
We face you only on back 2 bacls this year for some reason so our 2 real centers sit and your size kills us.

u/igonnawrecku_VGC Celtics Apr 01 '23
Every team that’s sitting their good players against us seems to hit everything
0
u/Embarrassed_Adagio28 Apr 01 '23
Dude you keep trying to say the jazz hit everything when playing you... we had a good shooting game at 41% from 3 last game but that's not uncommon and the celtics shot 44% that game.
2
u/igonnawrecku_VGC Celtics Apr 01 '23
No, I’m not saying the jazz hit everything against the Celtics. I’m saying that when teams bench their stars, they hit everything against the Celtics. Look at the Wizards game with no Beal and the Knicks game with no Brunson as recent examples of losses where teams didn’t have their star player and lit us up

u/DJRyGuy20 Celtics Apr 01 '23
Tatum with the anti-Dillon Brooks by checking up on the cameraman to the extent it actually harms his team by him not getting back on defense.

This game has been surprisingly physical, especially under the rim

Wait a second didn’t the Celtics actually play yesterday? That’s brutal.

u/Embarrassed_Adagio28 Apr 01 '23
Have you never heard of back to backs? They are playing a team sitting 3 out of 4 of their best players

He's incredible. I always feel like we have a fighting chance against any team no matter whose playing.

Come on, Utah! We really gave ‘em a run for their money last night. I don’t know how they’re going to mentally recover after what a back-and-forth war they had to go through 24 hours ago.

u/nevermindthatyoudope Celtics Mar 31 '23
You joke but I'm really curious to how they come out tonight. Especially after that wet turd of a game against Washington.

u/OmniaCausaFiunt Celtics Apr 01 '23
We all know what's going on. Refs just trying to make sure the Jazz covers the spread.
